#TheSelfLoveChallenge13

I woke up one morning to find that both Yana (Time With Yana) and Francesca (Francesca Rose) had tagged me in #TheSelfLoveChallenge13 which was started by Alexandra from Alexandra's Paradise who's goal was to help us recognise the awesomeness in all of us by completely forgetting the definition of the word 'selfish! I think it's such a nice idea and I love the positivity that she is trying to share with us all. So today, I am finally writing my own post about 13 things I like about me.

1. I love my freckles which are a constant, no matter the season. They make me look young and fresh and make me feel pretty.
2. I love my long eyelashes. My eyelashes are super long and fluttery and I think they're beautiful.
3. I love that I laugh until I cry. No matter how funny something is, I usually end up sobbing with laughter and it's just one of the best feelings and it makes others laugh too.
4. I love my arms. They are long and slender and look graceful (I like to think that I have ballerina arms but in reality I have no dancing ability.)
5. I love my legs. They are long and lightly defined with muscle from years of playing tennis.
6. I love my lips. Only recently I have started appreciating the shape of my cupid's bow and fullness of my lips.
7. I love my brains. I am very academic and I have an affinity for languages but I don't think I every give myself enough credit for my intelligence.
8. I love that I'm always positive no matter what life throws at me. Over the years I've taught myself to look for the positives in the negatives, and even when I'm in a bad situation I usually feel happy.
9. I love my nails. They are long and strong and I have a natural French manicure.
10. I love my fair skin. I'm beginning to truly embrace the paleness and I love how my skin compliments my hair.
11. I love my hair colour. The gold-copper-blonde tones are so unusual and I have hundreds of natural highlights.
12. I love my fashion sense. I feel like I'm finally starting to get interested in clothes and my current wardrobe perfectly encapsulates my tastes.
13. (I'm going to copy Francesca with this one) I love that I created and persevered with my blog. I defied the fear that people would make fun of me for it, to create my little part of the internet, create a YouTube channel and make some amazing internet friends!

In the rules Alexandra posted about, she asked us to go on to tag 13 people, but I don't read that many blogs, and most of the people who I would have tagged have already done it, so my list is a little short. But ... if you'd like to help me bulk up the list, I tag you! (Please leave the link down in the comments if you do it.)

I tag:

 

Ella

 

Meg

 

Olivia Jade

 

Holly

 

And all of my readers!

 

Thanks for reading this more personal post. Hopefully I will be getting back into a routine soon, but please bear with me as I'm going on holiday tomorrow and I don't want to be worrying about my blog the whole time!

 

Love, Milly xx

Summer Berry Skin Boost Smoothie

Today's post is basically my breakfast smoothie, but I thought I'd share it with you as we come up to summer and the perfect time for a cool berry drink, although I have this every day throughout the year because it is so sweet and delicious! Besides being tasty, my smoothie has amazing skin benefits. Raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants are all rich in antioxidants which calm inflammation, repair damaged skin and scarring and firm skin to prevent wrinkles. Orange juice is high in vitamin C for glowing, healthy skin and bananas are great for battling acne, oil control and anti-aging. This is a smoothie that's good for you, but isn't green and weird-looking (sorry kale).

 

 Ingredients:

 

200ml orange juice

 

1 banana

 

2 handfuls (approx. 80-100g) of mixed frozen berries (I like blackberries, raspberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants like THIS mix from Tesco)

 

You can add strawberries if you feel like it, although they will make the smoothie thinner, and I prefer a thick consistency

Method:
 

There's only one step to this: chuck everything into blender and blend. Voila! A smoothie in a couple of minutes.

If you make this smoothie, send me a picture on Instagram or Twitter by tagging me (@abeautyfulblog) in your photo!

I do have some exciting news to share with my readers which is that I am starting a YouTube channel! I am going to be doing similar stuff to what I post on here, but I want to do some occasional extra videos about things that matter to me. I'll be posting my first video at the end of July, after I've broken up from school, but I'll keep you posted about when that's happening. If you want to go and subscribe in advance, I'm at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFUmwzvTCGGxVT67P3Rw6Bwhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFUmwzvTCGGxVT67P3Rw6Bw . Thank you so much to everyone who continues to read my blog, I hope you'll join me on my next adventure!

Self-Confessed Book Addict

 

Hi. I'm Milly and I have been a bookaholic for as long as I can remember.

This week I decided to reread one of my favourite series of all time - 'Divergent'. As much as I love it, I don't think rereading 'Allegiant' was a good idea - if you've ever read it, you'll know the ending. Ohmygoodness. I sat on my bed and just let the tears roll down my cheeks and drip onto the pages. Needless to say, I was very mopey and grumpy for the rest of the evening.

I have loved reading ever since I was old enough to haul a cart full of books into my parents' room each morning. I remember the exact time when my love for all things sci-fi, fantasy and post-apocalyptic began - my friend in Hong Kong sent a copy of 'The Hunger Games' to me for my birthday when I was about 12. I loved it. (Sidenote: Before I read it, I thought it was a story about mice) From then my personal library snowballed and I've been left where I am today with hundreds of books in my bedroom and more stored in our attic. I constantly have a book on the go and I never go to bed without reading for a few minutes. I go through phases of being book-obsessed after reading one of my favourite series because my brain just craves more.


I'm looking for some new books to read at the moment - if you've read a good book or know anything similar to the books listed below, I would be so grateful!

What's your favourite book? Why do you like/dislike reading? Let me know down below and I'll speak soon!

Love, Milly x

Things I'm Proud Of From January

So, I missed a month of blogging... Oh well!

I decided not to do the typical 'New Year, New Me' blog post or a New Year's resolutions post because I prefer to try my best and see where it takes me, rather than setting myself rules. I did, however, do a few things this month which I'm proud of, and which I would like to share with you.

1) Throw a surprise birthday party - January was my friend Sophie's birthday and as she wasn't planning on doing anything, me and another friend decided to throw a surprise birthday party. We decided to tell her that 3 of us would be going bowling, but arranged for a few others to be there. Unfortunately, half of the people couldn't make it, but there were still enough to give her a surprise! I took a hilarious video of Sophie screaming when everyone jumped out; I'm so proud of how happy we were able to make her and I think she's still in disbelief!

2) Making myself happy - In January I made a conscious effort to be happy and surround myself with the happiest, loveliest people who make me smile and laugh. Through this, I gained a lovely group of people who have boosted my confidence and made me feel accepted, but, unfortunately, also lost some people who weren't making me feel so good. I've been smiling non-stop this month, and although I had a couple of those hormonal down-days, I overall felt amazing.

3) Drink more water - I've really tried to have several large glasses of water per day, even when I'm not thirsty, and my skin has really benefitted from it. I also like to add a bit of squash to my water to make it tastier if I'm craving sugar, because it's better for me than having a load of sweets.

4) Save up - I'm pretty good at saving up my money, and I'm proud that I didn't splurge on anything in January, because it means that I have more money to spend on something I love this month, such as Zoeva brushes.

5) No makeup to school - On Friday I went to school wearing no makeup, for the first time since year 8 (I'm in year 10). I'm proud that I got the courage to do this, thanks to my friend Scarlett persuading me. I usually wear makeup to school for self-confidence but I actually felt really happy not wearing it (plus you don't have to worry about smudging your eye makeup when you touch your eyes!). People were so nice about it, so whilst this won't become an everyday thing, maybe I'll try weekly or fortnightly!

Thanks for reading! Leave me a comment telling me what you are most proud of from January and what you would like to see next on this blog.

My Inspirations ~ Blogmas Day 5

I'm sorry that I missed a couple of days of blogmas, but hopefully two posts will be posted today, to make up. I simply had too much to write about these special people to do it before bed.

I often think about who, or what influences me to be who I am. Obviously, my parents, friends, family, but there are also external sources, who, in some ways, affect my personality more than those I have direct contact with.

Makeup and style inspiration: Lily Collins

I love everything about Lily Collins: her makeup, her hair, her clothes, her smile, her personality. Those eyebrows! I was inspired by her fairly recent cut, to chop off my long locks, and, although most were sceptical, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Her fashion is always on point, particularly at premieres, such as a recent one for the release of 'Love, Rosie', where she was seen in a stunning Elie Saab dress, pictured above. She always seems down-to-earth and kind in interviews, is always there for her fans, doesn't mind being different, and encourages people to be kind, by supporting Bystander Revolution, a movement about stopping bullying.

Life: Louise Pentland (aka Sprinkle Of Glitter)

Louise, owner of the blog and YouTube channel Sprinkle Of Glitter, is a really big inspiration to me. She had a tough time as a child, and although that has made an impact on her, she tries to be a positive person. Clicking on to her YouTube channel is like a cure for sadness; she is enthusiastic about everything, absolutely bonkers and tries to encourage a positive outlook on life. I can find that some YouTubers try to give the impression of a perfect life, but Louise will tell us if she's sad, and she's not afraid to say if she doesn't want to share something with her audience. She always wants the best for people, which is why she moved away from meet and greets at YouTube conventions, and created her own show, to improve things for her viewers. At 29, Louise has become a successful businesswoman, but is also raising a lovely family, with her husband Matt. Their gorgeous little girl Darcy is hilarious, and watching her go from a little baby, to a chatty toddler is brilliant. Everything Louise does is inspiring, and makes me want to be a nicer, funnier, happier person!

Everything: Hannah Michalak (aka Hannah Maggs)

Hannah Michalak is a blogger, YouTuber and mother, along with her husband Stefan. Hannah is so positive, despite having a nearly one-year-old baby and many sleepless nights. She started her YouTube channel with makeup tutorials as she trained to be a makeup artist, and after falling pregnant, branched into vlogs with Stefan. Every video is a joy to watch, with stunning shots, and an even more beautiful family. I don't know how Hannah manages to look so lovely! I find the Michalak family a very real insight into the lives of young parents, and watching them grow and develop is lovely. They are always honest, funny and entertaining, and I look forward to the vlog on a Sunday evening!

Thanks for reading a little about my inspirations. Let me know in the comments below, or on twitter, who your biggest inspirations are!

1. Favourite winter nail polish? Any dark red, small sparkles or natural polish.

5. Favourite winter scent/candle? I really like cinnamon and spiced scented candles, but I don't change my perfume or body sprays throughout the year.

9. Favourite Christmas food? Potatoes. Always potatoes. And stuffing.
10. Favourite Christmas decoration? Fairy lights because they are beautiful and versatile! You can have a beautiful house all year round!
11. What's at the top of your Christmas list this year? I asked for some money this year, and my mum spent some of my Christmas money on surprises, but I'm going to go for the post-Christmas sales and get myself some bargains!
12. What are your plans for Christmas this year? I'm spending Christmas with my family at home this year, which will be really nice, as we cans pend time together, relax and have fun!

I hope you enjoyed this! Have a nice day, and come back again tomorrow!

Sleeeppp... Blogmas Day 2

All I want for Christmas is sleep! I have no idea why I'm so tired, but it's probably something to do with the horrible gloomy weather we've been having in England.



Add caption

Sleep is so important, for our brains, staying healthy, and looking nice! It's a time for us to replenish our energy and relax. Some of us find it harder than others, but, let's be honest, every teenager loves sleep. Personally, I've been experiencing nightmares quite often recently, which make me tired, which makes me stressed, which makes me... and so on. So I've been reading up on some top tips on getting a good night's sleep.

1. Make your sleeping area somewhere you feel happy to sleep in. Make your bed cosy, but not too warm, and make sure that you have space to stretch out. It seems obvious, but make sure that your room is dark enough, and warm enough to drift you off. Also, make sure you invest in a decent mattress; you'll spend a lot of time on it, so make sure it's right for you.
2. Remove technology. This is probably one of the hardest steps, especially for teenagers who are attached to their phones, but Instagram and Facebook will still be there in the morning. Turn off devices, or leave them outside the room because the blue light from the screens will trick your brain into thinking it's day, waking you up again.
3. Relax and unwind long before bedtime. Providing that you get all of your work done and aren't too busy, try your hardest to rest and calm down about an hour before you sleep to give your chance some time to switch off. You could do a pamper session, read, or listen to music, as long as you aren't doing strenuous or energetic activities.
4. Get everything off your mind. You can't switch off if your mind's racing full of things to do the next day. Write down a list so you don't try to remember things during sleep time, and make sure everything is done for the day.
5. If you still struggle to sleep... try a couple of drops of calming lavender oil on your pillow (not too much though else it'll have the opposite effect), or try sleep pills. If you have insomnia, it's probably worth looking into your condition and speaking to a professional about it. It will be worth it in the end when you wake up replenished with beautifully glowing skin!

Thank you for reading blogmas day 2, and I will (probably) write again tomorrow! Bye!

Blogmas day 1!

Whoop! First of December and officially time for Christmas! Advent calendars have been opened, carols have been sung and everyone's in the Christmas spirit.

I'm a bit rubbish at keeping to deadlines on my blog, especially at the moment with two controlled assessments for GCSE and too much work, but I'm going to attempt Blogmas. I'll TRY to write every day, probably mostly with pictures from the internet, because I don't have time to take photos every day. If you have anything you'd like me to write about, comment below, or tweet me @abeautyfulblog.

Today's post is just to say Happy December and welcome to Blogmas day!

Hope you are having a lovely day!

Quotes I love

Type 'quotes' into Pinterest and a whole host of inspirational messages appear. Sometimes a few words can make a huge difference; make us happy, make us sad, inspire us, or encourage us to follow our dreams. I picked out a few which were relevant to me right now, and a few words of wisdom for every day life:

 



 



 I'm so grateful to my best friends; they listen to me, let me cry (mostly with laughter), know more about me than I do about myself and trust me enough to open up. They will tell me if they're sick of me moaning and tell me to get on with my life, as I will to them. I often tell them exactly what's on my mind and they will do the same, which helps me be a better person.

 

 

 Creativity is so important, and if you have an idea, put it forward. So many brilliant ideas get brushed under the carpet just because people are too shy to bring it up. Take credit and enjoy compliments. I have a few ideas which I want to bring up with my school, but I keep putting them off because I'm scared of rejection. Don't be! If it's a rubbish idea, laugh it off and start again. But if you really believe in something, go for it.

 

 

Just be amazing every day.

 

 

I'm pretty sure that this is one of the most important things. If someone is making you sad, tell them, or go do something away from them. If there's a hobby you love, do it! If you feel pressured into doing something you don't want to do, say no, and do what you want. Even if you are doing something 'uncool' or 'geeky' don't worry about it. I promise you, it's not and there are hundreds of people doing the same thing as you.

 

 

 Sometimes life can seem unfair, because the best ideas are pushed aside because they aren't popular. Often nowadays, its not what you can do, but who you know. This is so sad, but just because something's popular, doesn't mean you have to like it or do it, especially if you think it's wrong. Don't tell people you like something just to be popular.

 

 

Procrastinating is a major hobby of all teenage students. Stop putting work and other things off, and get on with it. You'll be amazed at how much less stressed you feel and how much time you get for yourself now that everything's done.

 

 

Whilst I love makeup, your personality s much more important than your looks. Be a nice person and don't give false impression to be popular. Just being yourself you will attract people similar to yourself, who make you feel happy and comfortable in your own skin.

 

 

I hope you liked this little round up of inspirational quotes. Let me know your favourite or any thoughts in the comments. I would also be really grateful for post/makeup recommendations. All of these quotes can be found on my 'Quotes' board on Pinterest . Thank you for reading and I will write again very soon!

Back To School Blues

Hello! I'm writing this half an hour before I have to be back in school after the long summer break. (My school has a half day on the first day back).

I can't say I'm not nervous; I am a bit shaky and I feel sick to my stomach, but I guess that's just nerves. This year I'm making a real effort to be a better and nicer person, become more organised, and generally sort my life out. The first day of school is usually the worst; even if you know everyone in your class, you feel like you have to give a good first impression. I got up at about 9 today in order to get myself ready. Looking good on the first day of school, for me, is a real confidence booster. I make sure to plan what I'm wearing and have everything ready the night before so that I don't have to think about it.

One of the reasons that I'm nervous is because this year I'm starting my GCSE work, and that scares me. It means that I'm getting to a really important part of my life, where big changes and decisions need to happen. To be honest, I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I'm very academic, so a lot of people want me to take that path. I would quite like to study makeup artistry, or be a blogger and YouTuber, but I can never quite decide.

Another reason for the school nerves is people. I find it hard making friends, but luckily I'm in a really lovely and supportive class, where I feel quite accepted. I guess I'm not the only one feeling nervous: a new school year means new teachers, classes and work. GCSE means that for most of my lessons I won't be with my class, but rather in subject choices, meaning that I can meet new people and make new friends.

Going back to school is never a good feeling, but, if you think about it, you'll get to see your friends every day, and learn about things that you're interested in. Of course there will be people and subjects that you don't like, but you just have you get on with it. If you dwell, you'll feel a whole lot worse.

I'm sorry for the rambly post today, but I have a lot on my mind and I wanted to share it with you. Good luck whenever you go back to school; have a great time and try to make this year your best one ever!

Beach Essentials

Sorry for not posting; I'm away on holiday! I promise that there are loads moreposts coming. This is just a quick post to show you my beach essentials this summer.

From left to right, my beach essentials are a book (City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare), Garnier Ambre Solaire Resistor Factor 50 sun cream, sunglasses, snacks, a bikini or swimsuit (mine's from Boots in the Coral Bay Beachwear collection) and a hat. Make sure to stay covered up in the sun!

The TMI Tag

I've been blogging for about a month now, and I feel like I should do something to celebrate that. So far my posts have been quite limited, mostly being reviews. This week I'm going to do the TMI tag, to help you to get to know me better, and just for a bit of fun.

1: What are you wearing? I'm wearing a vintage-style blue polka dot dress, a yellow belt and socks.

2: Ever been in love? Nope.

3: Ever had a terrible breakup? No. I've never had a proper boyfriend... only the primary school holding-hands sort once.

4: How tall are you? About 5" 6' and a half? I think that's about 168cm.

5: How much do you weigh? I'm not really comfortable to share this, and I haven't been weighed in years.

6: Any tattoos? No and I don't have plans on getting any in the future.

7: Any piercings? None and I don't really think I could take the pain of ear piercing! It probably wouldn't suit me anyway.

8: OTP? I have so many - all from books. I can list them, but it will probably take a while and I'll miss most of them out! My top three book OTPs are probably Zoey and Stark/Heath from the 'House of Night' series, Tessa and Will/Jem in the 'Infernal Devices' trilogy and Laurel and Tamani from the 'Wings' series. But really There are so many more that I love and had to miss off, like 'Divergent', 'The Mortal Instruments' and 'Uglies'. I just love to read.

9: Favourite Show? I don't really watch that much TV. Probably 'This Old Thing' on Channel 4 about vintage clothing or 'New Girl', also on Channel 4. Something that I love watching but is no longer on in the UK is 'Hart of Dixie'.

10: Favourite band? The Vamps without a doubt. I'm going to see them in September with my best friend!

11: Something you miss? Probably being little and doing my own thing without too many worries or caring what people think about me. I also miss my friend who moved to Hong Kong.

12: Favourite song? This is a super hard one, but I'm going to go with my favourite songs at the moment which are 'Me and my Broken Heart' by Rixton, the whole of the 'Meet The Vamps' album and the German world cup song 'Das Dicke Dicke Ding' which I find really catchy and good for me to practice speaking German. Is that weird?

13: How old are you? Fifteen in two and a bit months.

14: Zodiac sign? Libra

15: Quality you look for in a partner? Funny, caring, intelligent, romantic and good with children.

16: Favourite quote? Probably 'Be a fruit loop in a world of cheerios'.  But there are so many inspirational quotes that I love. I really like ones that tell you not to follow the crowd and to be yourself and do your own thing.

17: Favourite actor? I love Jennifer Lawrence. Her personality is hilarious and she isn't afraid to be herself, even in front of millions of people. She's also such a brilliant actress in everything she does and I was so glad when she was cast as Katniss in 'The Hunger Games'

18: Favourite colour? Probably pale blue but I also like pastel yellow and pink.

19: Loud music or soft? It would depend on my mood. I would say medium. I like music with guitar backing and drums, but not heavy metal!

20: Where do you go when you’re sad? Usually my mum or dad, but also my laptop to watch my favourite YouTubers or listen to upbeat music.

21: How long does it take you to shower? Depending on if I'm doing a hair treatment or not, usually between 10 and 20 minutes. But I always turn off the water if I'm not rinsing my hair or washing because wasting water makes me seriously annoyed. At sleepovers, if someone leaves the tap running to clean their teeth they will be treated to a lecture about saving the environment!

22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? From waking up to leaving the house - probably an hour. But that includes washing, eating and dressing. The maximum it takes me to do my hair and makeup is twenty minutes.

23: Ever been in a physical fight? No. But if someone isn't nice to me or my friends, or if I disagree with something, I will speak out which can get me into trouble sometimes.

24: Turn on? If someone seems genuinely interested in what I have to say and doesn't behave differently around other people.

25: Turn off? If someone doesn't appreciate me or other people as we really are or if they make racist, sexist or homophobic comments, I will immediately dislike them. 

26: The reason I made a blog? To share my babbling with the world. I don't think that I know a lot about makeup, I'm just really interested in it and I love doing costume makeup. Really I wanted somewhere to keep my ramblings as I begin my GCSEs.

27: Fears? I have so many irrational fears. Trollies (don't ask), trampolines, bikes, scooters, spiders, snakes, heights and swimming are just a few.

28: Last thing that made you cry? Probably reading a book or listening to 'High Hopes' or 'Somebody to You' by The Vamps. My last proper cry was watching 'The Fault in Our Stars'. 

29: Last time you said you loved someone? Probably to my mum or dad last night before bed.

30: Meaning behind your blog name? Mostly that I didn't have the imagination for anything better. I just thought this was appropriate because it basically tells you what I'm going to write about.

31: Last book you read? 'Clockwork Angel' by Cassandra Clare.

32: The book you’re currently reading? The second book in the trilogy, 'Clockwork Prince', also by Cassandra Clare. I've read this series so many times, I just absolutely love it!

33: Last show you watched? 'New Girl' because I got up late and felt like having a laugh!

34: Last person you talked to? My little brother who asked me if he could have some chocolate! I said no.

35: The relationship between you and the person you last texted? I texted my best friend repeatedly saying 'hi' to wind her up. And the relationship? She's my best friend.

36: Favourite food? Hmm. This is so hard for me. I love pizza, curry and crispy duck pancakes so much! I also quite like fresh salad and Cadbury's chocolate.

37: Place you want to visit? I'd really like to go to somewhere like Italy or Greece but I wouldn't be able to cope with the heat! I might like to go somewhere in America because I've never been outside of Europe. I've been to France, Germany and Scotland and I stay in England every year for holidays. I like that though because we live in a beautiful country.

38: Last place you were? I went for a walk with my dad and brother late yesterday evening around my town.

39: Do you have a crush? Yes. And I'm not telling you!

40: Last time you kissed someone? Not since I was about 11!

41: Last time you were insulted? Today by my brothers.

42: Favourite flavour of sweet? I like mint and most fruity flavours. And cola. But do NOT give  me blackcurrant flavoured or chocolate flavoured sweets because I cannot stand them!

43: What instruments do you play? I can sing, play the clarinet and the piano, but I don't have lessons. I stopped all lessons about a year ago. 

44: Favourite piece of jewellery? At the moment I love to wear a silver necklace with a charm saying 'hope' on the end. It's super old so the pendant's gone a bit coppery, but I still like it.

45: Last sport you played? Tennis about three weeks ago! I'm not really sporty.

46: Last song you sang? I'm not really sure. It's either 'High Hopes' by The Vamps or 'New Girl In Town' from the musical 'Hairspray'.

47: Favourite chat up line? I'd prefer to have a  proper conversation than small talk, but the funniest I've heard is,
'Hey, are you in my appendix? Because I don’t understand what you do, but this feeling in my stomach makes me want to take you out?'
I mean, it's just so unfunny that it's funny!

48: Have you ever used it? Nope.

49: Last time you hung out with anyone? I went to town with my best friends three days ago.

50: Who should answer these questions next? Anyone and everyone. If you read this and you have a blog or a YouTube channel- I'm tagging you! Tell me if you do this and I'll check it out.

I hope you enjoyed finding out a little more about me. I found this really fun to do so maybe I'll do another one in the future. If you want to check out my best friend she has a YouTube channel (here). I've also set up a Twitter account and a second instagram but I'm still working out how to put the buttons onto my page. If you want to follow me in the meantime, I'll leave links at the end of the post. I got the idea to do this post from Lauren at Pretty Things & Polka Dots.

Thanks for reading!
